A great actor departs ..

Rajkumar - the prominent Kannada film Icon, succummed to heart attack today at 2:30 pm. A great actor and a prominent propellant of the Kannada cause.

It is really a sad day for Kannada.

A great actor yes..bangarada manushya, babruvahana, mayura, and many more great films..no doubts..but proponent of kannada cause??hmmmm...may be indirectly thru emotional dialogs in films and crowd pulling factor for kannada movies/shows ..but i am not aware of any direct action from him in this regard..

btw..what abt all the rioting happening in blore?what is the news?is tomorrow a holiday?

we would all love every public figure to be "directly" involved in "direct action", but it surely is easier said than done.... As a paradox, we adore public figures who are apolitical as well !

As an artiste, be it a poet or a newspaper columnist or a film actor, each one of them have a huge target audience and most of them influence the junta more than an activist.

and Dr. Raj surely excelled at this.

hmm..true..and i dont see anything wrong in that..after all he is being projected as proponent of kannada cause..so its natural to expect some action from his side..and coming to indirect actions..well they are indirect..a side effect of his acting..which may or may not be intentional and does not reflect any efforts from him to help the kannada cause..

>but it surely is easier said than done
yes ofcourse..am not denying that

>each one of them have a huge target audience and most of them influence the junta more than an activist.
